Eulji Mundeok decided to fight to the death. He would not surrender and there was no need to surrender.
But he does not represent the entire Goguryeo army, let alone all the ordinary people in Anshi City.
Niu Jinda entered Anshi City, and the five hundred steps inside the west gate were firmly controlled.
"General, the enemy general has entered the city lord's palace."
"Report, Goguryeo has surrendered generals and offered two granaries. Our army has taken over two of the three gates in the south city."
Niu Jinda looked around and said loudly: "What a wonderful city. This will definitely become a large and complex city in Liaodong Road in the future." Niu Jinda didn't seem to answer the sergeant who came to report, but just said to himself.
With.
"Report, the enemy's main force is scattered throughout the city, and they seem to be preparing to fight to the death!"
Hearing the word "fight to the death", Niu Jinda gave a deep thanks, glanced at the generals, lieutenants, and lieutenants beside him, and then said: "The Goguryeo people are going to fight desperately, they have their determination. And I am waiting for you.
..." Niu Jinda's tone changed, and he slowly drew out his saber.
"And we, too, are determined." Niu Jinda loudly lectured his subordinates.
"Fight!" All the generals responded in unison. At this time, the Tang army's fighting spirit was high and their morale was like a rainbow!
"My general ordered to block the city gates with firewood. If the Goguryeo people want to break out, they will light fires. A street with a house as a regiment will be swept through by my general. Those who do not surrender will be killed! Soldiers are in front, assisting
The soldiers are behind. The cavalry is sent out to suppress all the enemy troops standing in the streets. Anyone who does not kneel on the ground will be killed!"
Niu Jinda is not afraid of working hard.
You Goguryeo people will talk about protecting your home and country, but we, the Tang army, are burdened with more.
Day after day of training, provided with dry food and meat, our Tang army became more elite.
Anyone who insults our Tang Dynasty will die!
There is no day or night on the battlefield, only killing and being killed. After a brief period of calm, the continuous shouts of killing once again appeared in Anshi City.
Build an city!
The Weiyuan and Zhenyuan ships had landed outside the city, and Li Jing came out to meet them.
Even though Li Jing already knew the news when he saw Gao Jianwu, the King of Goguryeo who could not be captured, he was still somewhat surprised. Just because he was too fast, he captured Pyongyang City in one morning. Li Jing had led troops for many years, and he was even more surprised.
He knows how many casualties it takes to capture a great city.
"Brother Yao, there will be no accidents in Anshi City."
"Wulang, this..." Li Jing really didn't know what to say.
Li Yuanxing motioned to go into the city and settle down the envoys first. As for the prisoners, Li Yuanxing didn't know how many prisoners there were except Gao Jianwu. Li Yuanxing didn't ask about such trivial matters, and Lu Maofeng didn't report to him either.
Yu Chigong never reported how many people were arrested.
Sitting in Anshi City, Li Yuanxing said to the generals: "No one can defeat our Tang Dynasty. But our Tang Dynasty is not invincible. The first enemy comes from ourselves. Without a good army
Once the system is corrupted, no matter how powerful the weapons are, we will be defeated!"
"Remember His Highness's teachings!"
All the generals responded in unison.
"There is another enemy, distance. If you walk from Chang'an to Pyongyang, it is at least 8,000 miles. With such a long distance, we can't keep up just for supplies, let alone fight. How to overcome the problem of distance and how to ensure it?
Logistics is the most important thing for the War Department of the Tang Dynasty in the future. Of course, it is not just the Ministry of War, it should be the entire Tang Dynasty. Taking this opportunity, I am preparing to write a report on the military reform of the Tang Dynasty!"
The matter of military reform has been discussed many times, but the reason why it cannot be changed is that tradition is difficult to break.
There is no way to discuss a very strict plan on how to change it specifically.
"Select the combat soldiers and reduce the number of combat soldiers. Change some of the weaker combat soldiers into high-level auxiliary soldiers. Their mission is to serve the future railways, or call them railway soldiers. Their role..."
Li Yuanxing was about to express some of his thoughts on military reform when a captain wearing a red vest came in.
This vest is the symbol of the soldier in charge of the radio station.
Li Yuanxing couldn't help but stop what he was talking about.
"Report, General Cheng sent a telegram. Wunu Mountain City has been captured, and none of the Goguryeo nobles in the city have escaped. The general has defeated three cities in a row, and has selected one city to garrison, waiting for orders. The Lei Cavalry is already resting and will set off for Dandong tomorrow morning.
There are no enemies within a hundred miles around Hong Kong Anshi City."
After hearing the report, Li Yuanxing said softly: "Let all the armies be stationed and rest for a day!"
"Yes!" The captain in charge of the radio station saluted and then withdrew.
It was no longer time to talk about military reforms. Li Jing ordered his people to take out the map and start considering further plans.
Li Yuanxing picked up a pen and started from Dandong in the north, then crossed the inner city and extended to the seaside with his last breath. "This is the new border, let's fight!"
Li Jing nodded: "The Chinese army goes out to fight and wipe out all the resisting enemies in Ping'an City!"
Niu Jinda only led part of the army, and Li Jing was the main force here. Li Jing believed that he could control all of Anshi City in one night, and then defend Beisha City. There is no need to worry about Beisha City. After completing this defense line, Beisha City will be
Shacheng has become an isolated city, with the Tang navy at sea, Pyongyang City has been destroyed, and Bishacheng has collapsed without attack.
Li Jing went out, but Li Yuanxing stayed in Jian'an City.
There was no need for King Qin of the Tang Dynasty to go to the front line in person. The Tang army already had high morale, and there was no need for Li Yuanxing to personally boost morale.
At dinner, Li Yuanxing invited Gao Jianwu to have dinner with him.
"No matter what, will you attack Goguryeo?" Gao Jianwu asked without touching the food in front of him.
Li Yuanxing did not answer immediately, but just ate by himself.
"King Qin?" Gao Jianwu asked again.
He is no longer afraid of death, there is nothing that can threaten him.
Li Yuanxing put down his chopsticks: "You are very annoyed. I invite you to have dinner with me. It is not to humiliate you, nor to show off as a winner. I have no intention of discussing anything with you. I just want to give you a chance to be a prince.
It’s just a little respect for my identity.”
"You!" Gao Jianwu was choked by Li Yuanxing.
"Remember, don't say that you are a prisoner of war now. Even if you are still the King of Goguryeo, your status in front of me is not enough to be on an equal footing with me. You can eat the food if you want, and you can leave if you don't want to eat."
Gao Jianwu was really angry.
When Gao Jianwu reached out and grabbed the corner of the waiter's table, Li Yuanxing suddenly said: "Don't spill the food, otherwise I will order people to stuff the food on the floor into your mouth. I said that every grain of rice is hard work!"
"
After that, Li Yuanxing continued to eat his dinner.
Gao Jianwu froze, half standing, one hand still grasping the corner of the table.
He didn't doubt Li Yuanxing's words at all. As long as he dared to overturn the table, Li Yuanxing would dare to have the food that had been knocked over on the ground mixed with dirt and stuffed into his mouth.
Gao Jianwu felt cruel in his heart, but what could he do? He clenched his fists tightly and walked out.
However, Li Yuanxing said something else at this time: "It seems that he is full all day long and does not know what hunger is or the suffering of the people. Let him starve for a few days and then arrange a job. If he does not work, there will be no food.
, if the food is not good, the food will be halved. This is not a charity house for the king, and we will not feed and clothe people for free."
What could Gao Jianwu do? The only thing he could do was curse in his heart.
Li Yuanxing put the last green vegetable on the plate into his mouth, and then wiped his mouth with a handkerchief: "Pass on what I said, the captured Goguryeo people will be treated equally, and their status will be judged based on their ability. Those who have the ability will naturally eat well.
, well dressed. What does their previous identity have to do with my Datang?"
"Yes!" Lu Maofeng just responded in a low voice.
He wanted to persuade, but he didn't dare.
He knew that Li Yuanxing's order alone would result in at least two hundred impeachments.
Li Yuanxing signaled to take away his empty bowl and plate, and then handed over the dinner originally intended for Gao Jianwu to the captured royal ladies of Goguryeo.
Sitting on a soft chair, Li Yuanxing held his chin with one hand.
The guards stood quietly on both sides. Li Yuanxing didn't speak, and they didn't talk too much either. They just sat quietly.
After half an hour, Li Yuanxing suddenly said: "I heard that Jin Manqing's home is in Shicheng, which is less than a hundred miles away from Beisha City. Is that so?"
Lu Maofeng didn't know this, but he scratched his head and didn't know how to answer.
"Paper and pen!" Li Yuanxing thought it would be useless to ask. He must have remembered correctly.
Paper and pen were brought up, and Li Yuanxing wrote on the paper: "Return home in rich clothes!" and then handed it to Lu Maofeng: "Let the scribe draw up the seal. My intention is to ask the Ministry of Rites to make arrangements. I want to worship the souls of the dead in the inner city.
Regardless of whether it is a Taoist or a Buddhist sect, someone with sufficient status must come over. The Ministry of Rites, please ask the emperor for instructions."
After that, Li Yuanxing handed the note to Lu Maofeng: "To Princess Mingyue."
"Your Highness, are you taking the King of Goguryeo to Chang'an?"
"Let's do it like this!" Li Yuanxing was too lazy to say more. The King of Goguryeo didn't take it to heart. He was just thinking about how to control places like Bisha City. You must know that not all people here are Goguryeo or Buyeo.
At least half of the people are Han, because during the Eastern Jin Dynasty, this place was still Han.
Lu Maofeng retreated after receiving the order, but as soon as he went out, he ran back in: "Your Highness, good news. Anshi City has been controlled by the whole city. Only the small area of the city lord's palace still has about a thousand Goguryeo people. General Niu has ordered a truce.
, he reported to see if he could capture the person alive. If we attack by force now, we only need a fire to end the battle!"
"Let Li Shangshu make the decision, I don't care whether he lives or dies!" Eulji Mundeok's life and death is no longer important. At least to Li Yuanxing, a character who does not affect the battle situation, life or death, does not matter.
Important. On the contrary, the important thing is how to successfully conquer some cities without starting a war. (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
